Enhancements for Future Release tracking

[miketheman]

What is this?

This issue is meant to help track the open issues that should be resolved before cutting the 3.0.0 release.
It is not exhaustive by any means, but attempts to cover the issues.

It will be updated (edited) as needed, so as to reflect the remaining efforts involved. Comments/other issues will be linked as necessary to this main section.

Release-time test matrix:

• Chef 12-latest
• Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04
• CentOS 6, 7

Must have for release

• Support for systemd (Add systemd support (in 3.0.0-rewrite) #384)
• Sort out pidfie location issues (from scatch #292, nginx 1.8 loses pid upon nginx conf change #377)
• Allow control of base config's error_log/access_log location (Add support for logging to syslog #388)
• Platform-specific spec coverage for all resource actions
• Address any open TODOs (run rake notes to find)
• README updated with examples and use cases
• Mailing list announcement
• Supermarket release

Nice to have

• Update upstart template & base config to not need to daemon/expect spawn
• Support a notion of nginx_site 'mysite' { action :enable|disable } to control symlinks
• Fully docker-supported build/test cycle (so as to support testing via CircleCI)
• Close out any pre-3.0 issues with wontfix

I would be happy to finish #384, but I do need some pointers on what still needs to be done.

[miketheman]

@miguelaferreira Awesome! I've been focusing on getting a workable CI going, so I need to finish up a few changes I made yesterday to get a clean run.
Once that's on the mainline branch, can you rebase & test? This will get the most recent setup of testing/CI.

[miguelaferreira]

Sure. Please ping me when you're ready and I'll rebase and test.

[miketheman]

Updated to remove Chef 11 from the support list.

Hey guys,

Just a small question: when do you think the 3.0 version of this cookbook will be available? Got a legacy Chef set up that I'm bringing up to date that still uses v 1.8 of this cookbook, but if 3.0 comes out soonish I'd rather wait for it instead of upgrading to 2.7.

Thanks!

@miketheman any chance you can release @tas50 PR #422 so that we have a working 2.X branch that resolves a lot of folks problems?

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

[eherot]

@miketheman do you want/need help maintaining and administrating this cookbook? This is a hugely important cookbook for a lot of people's environments and it basically hasn't been touched (including merging relatively simple but essential pull requests) since July...

@eherot Check out https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef_nginx

[miketheman]

@eherot I'd gladly accept help on completing the list as mentioned above.
